[QUOTE="melamina, post: 843858, member: 94010"] Hi, I'm trying to decide between the new 24" imac (2009) or the older 2008 24" imac (with an ATI HD 2600 PRO). [B]2008:[/B] - 2GB 800mhz (and supports up to 4GB) - 2.8 core2duo - 320 GB - ATI HD 2600 PRO (256MB dedicated) - remote control - long keyboard [B]2009:[/B] - 4GB 1066mhz (and supports up to 8GB) - 2.66 core2duo - 640 GB - Nvidia GeForce 9400M (256MB shared) - no remote control - short keyboard Is the Nvidia better than the older Ati? If I bought the 2008, will I be needing more than 4Gb in the future? I don't mind the hard disk size, 320 is fine for me. At the time being the 2008 [B]costs USD 270 less[/B] than the 2009 (in amazon). I think it's quite a difference. Is the remote useful? Can you lower volume, change songs, pause video (dvd's)? I work in design (photoshop, illustrator, dreamw, flash, and some after effects). I think my main concern is the memory. Perhaps the new snow leopard will be using more memory. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jimmy [/QUOTE]
